You're definitely on to something here. I've thought all along that if someone (99.9% sure that this will be a liberal dem) proposed taking all of the retirement plans, 401Ks, etc., from the American people and in exchange everyone gets a $3-4,000 check each month when they retire that more than half the population would gladly go along with the scheme. Of the remaining 50% most would find that revolting or protesting would take too much effort and cut into their time watching X-Factor, Duck Dynasty, and so on. I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet as they could do it easier than they think!
and I am 99% sure just enough GOPers will cross over to make it pass. Maybe not the first time it comes up though
